Just wondering if the N900 has any sort of built-in fax capability. Admittedly I do not use this primitive technology often, but having travelled back in time (westward across the Atlantic), I would like to have that option.

The few times I needed to send a fax, I just plugged whatever landline I had access to into my laptop's modem and used print-to-fax. Should be even simpler to do with a computer with built-in phone. Plus, modern laptops don't come with analog modems any longer...
